R de Ruinart Brut is the signature non-vintage cuvée from the oldest Champagne house, founded in 1729, and beautifully expresses the house’s refined, Chardonnay-led style. Predominantly Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and a touch of Pinot Meunier, it opens with attractive aromas of pears, apples, lemons and white flowers, layered with delicate hints of brioche. On the palate it is medium-bodied with a fine, creamy mousse, offering freshness, precision and harmony throughout.

Awarded 92 points by James Suckling, who notes its “fine mousse and creamy texture” and describes it as “fresh and lively with a clean, elegant finish,” this is a Champagne defined by balance rather than power. Crisp orchard fruit and citrus zest carry through to a poised, dry finish, making it an ideal aperitif or a superb match for oysters, sashimi and refined seafood dishes — sophisticated, polished and effortlessly drinkable. 🥂
